The Ceremonies For Candlemas Day: Poem by Robert Herrick

  1. Home
  2. robert-herrick
  3. Poems

Kindle the Christmas brand, and then
Till sunset let it burn;
Which quench'd, then lay it up again,
Till Christmas next return.

Part must be kept, wherewith to teend
The Christmas log next year;
And where 'tis safely kept, the fiend
Can do no mischief there.
